Pet care experience

Caring for others pets like my own

I have always loved animals especially dogs. I grew up volunteering at the humane society, around foster dogs, house sitting (including dogs and cats) and dog walking. I have dog sat for dogs with special care needs such as diet, medicine or bathroom abilities. I have now cared for numerous dogs of various breeds for months on Rover.

Safety, trust & environment

I believe in caring for other pets just as their owner would and keeping them comfortable in their own home. I grew up with pets and would be heart broken if anything ever happened to them and always keep that in mind when caring for others pets.

Nali immediately seemed comfortable with Abby, and she enjoyed her time at Abby's house. Abby communicated effectively throughout Nali's stay. We appreciated receiving pictures on a couple of occasions.

Abby is a fantastic sitter! My boys were comfortable and relaxed with her staying at the house. My home was also taken care of while I was away. If you want peace of mind while out of town then book Abby!

I love pet and house sitting for people because I love animals but it has also been a great way to explore where I live! I live in Oneonta but work in Cooperstown during the week so I can serve both areas and in between.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Abby can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
It is helpful to know any special care needs, their typical schedule (how much they like to stick to it), and their behavior or personality. I like to know what kind of walker the dog is and how they get along with other people and animals. It is also really helpful to know if you have left your pet alone before and if so how they handled it. I have had a negative boarding experience with a dog who had separation anxiety and it was not pleasant for the dog, me, or my roommates. I also like to know how a pet reacts to other pets, men and groups of people, either in the house or outside.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
